Veterinarians suspect she might have swallowed the nicotine cartridge from the vape, which could lead to severe intoxication. The cartridge contains 2.5-3 ml of nicotine liquid, and tests are being conducted to determine the extent of the harm. "I'm worried that Dana might swallow the cap, because this plastic can cause intestinal blockage and vomiting. Today, she's already eating poorly, feeling unwell, and sleeping all day. If there is an intestinal blockage, then all responsibility will fall on the shoulders of this girl. Danochka is like a child. She will put everything in her mouth, and God forbid, she might swallow it. This is very dangerous. It is not so dangerous that she smoked, although this is also very bad, as it is dangerous if she swallowed this cap, then, God forbid, Dana will have to be operated on," the safari park's veterinarian, Vasily Piskovoy, said. Meanwhile, Luchkina faces potential penalties, including a fine and a ban from the park. The boxer's coach, Vladimir Akatov, provided a brief comment to Russian journalists, saying, "I didn't know Anastasia was a smoker. She is currently on holiday. We will definitely discuss this matter when she returns" The incident has sparked outrage online, with many condemning Luchkina's actions as reckless and irresponsible. One user wrote, "Just disgusting behaviour and she should not be allowed to fight again." Another commented, 'She should be arrested and imprisoned for life for endangering this innocent animal." PETA UK vice president Mimi Bekhechi told SunSport:"Anastasia Luchkina must have received a few too many knocks to the head if she thinks it's a lark to give an orangutan a vape…a violation of this intelligent, gentle ape's welfare."
